'Civ V' Dev Founds Conifer Games, Announces Kickstarter

Set in the waning days of the Roman Empire, Jon Shafer's At the Gates is a strategy game that casts you as the leader of a barbarian tribe, ready to fill the power vacuum left by a great power in decline.

The first project from Conifer will be "Jon Shafer’s At the Gates", for which a Kickstarter campaign was launched today.

Set in the waning days of the Roman Empire, "Jon Shafer’s At the Gates" casts you as the leader of a barbarian tribe, ready to fill the power vacuum left by a great power in decline. You must compete not only against other nations, but with an environment that does not eagerly feed your people and armies. The resources of the world you are constantly depleting, requiring you to move your tribe in search of new ones - or to pillage those of your neighbors.

Will you be ready for a long, hot summer that scorches your fields, or a winter that freezes the river that once served as a wall to fend off the Huns? "Jon Shafer’s At the Gates" features seasons that transform not just the world, but the strategic options available to you.
